Re: wow what a change
At the moment I don't like it. Its all new and confusing. In a month or so I guess I'll get used to it. Putting old stuff first is annoying. In the joke thread theres at least 60 pages. I gave up trying to get to the end to see new stuff. I just posted in "Flash Gordon" and it forces you to look at your post before posting it. Fine, but all the preview showed was the quote and not my stuff. I had to accept not sure if what I wrote would be posted.
edit: but I just discovered I can turn off preview.

Re: wow what a change
We have another problem. ALL of our links that have ever been included in any of our threads are all worthless now. That means the strategy threas, new member thread, FAQ thread all of them are now filled with dead links. 
The price of change.

Re: wow what a change
Hmm... don't call me negative Dutchie, but I don't like the forum the way it is now. I like the old form. But change must be, I'll get used to it.
There are two things bothering me, the one Renegade13 also mentioned, the loading of the Posts in reverse. This is really sucky, sucky.
And the second thing is the strange error I get when I open the page. I think it has something to do with a popup window. I have a popup suppessor, so it might be that. I don't know af any way to couter this. This is the message I get:
"SymRealWinOpen" is not defined. And then he askes me if I would like to correct this. This is always some text in the makeup of the window I'm looking at, so I can't change it. Any thoughts?
I'm sure I'll get over the shock of the new forum within this year...

Re: wow what a change
I liked the old (reverse) order better...
Also, why do the Posts take up so much space on the screen now? There's a lot of blank space above and below the text that we post, so that less information is displayed at any time on the screen...
And why is the title at the top "INTEL FORUMS INTEL FORUMS"? ...wait, now it's OK.

Re: wow what a change
What happened to the Ratings? Post count carried over so why not Ratings?

Re: wow what a change
Well, I realize this is going to be (has been!) a long work-in-progress, but here's my input:
1) Might want to see if you can use the old UBB code for HTML generation and port it over to the new PHP Version. I'm on dialup for a while, and I remember pages loading quite a bit faster in the older Version. I'm using Firefox right now, I'll be testing in IE in a bit, but there's probably a few streamlining options that are lurking around in the old code.
2) Stylesheets in the profiles are a must, even if it's just a few static ones for font sizes. Decreasing the font size in Firefox makes things more managable, but then it throws off fonts for all other sites if it's made permanent. A suggestion from a webdeveloper standpoint; use pixels for font size in the stylesheets rather than points. Different platforms implement point sizes differently, but pixels are constant across all platforms. In a stylesheet, that would mean using something like "10px" rather than "12pt". Exact numbers depend on the particular font, but I believe 10 pixels is equivalent to 12 point for Arial on IE/Windows platforms.
3) Probably a no-brainer, but might want to run a search across all Posts for the UBB Code text for URLs (I believe it's [URL link=...), and replace it with actual links. And I would take the forum offline for a bit to do it, since it most likely will take a long time and do terrible things to your server 
4) The layout in some areas needs a little bit of work. Particularly in the Reply/New Post area, since I'm looking at it right now. Everything is lined up vertically, and there's big beige space to the right of my screen with absolutely nothing on it.
5) Bring back the iframe with the thread in it! It helped a lot when replying to threads.
I'm sure I and others will think of more things later. Thanks for all your work Richard and (excuse me while I open up a new tab to check what your wonderful wife's name is since there is no more iframe for me to check it in ...) Mindi!
